Thomas Nast's "Christmas Drawings"

        "These Christmas drawings by Nast appeal to the sympathy of no particular religious denomination or political party, but to the universal delight in the happiest of holidays, consecrated by the loftiest associations and endeared by the tenderest domestic traditions. Christmas is the holiday of all; but it is especially the Children's day. The grotesque and airy fancies of childhood which cling about Santa Claus, as the good genius of Christmas, are reproduced here in delightfully imaginative reality by the artist, so that visitors here may feast of true Christmas cheer." 

Santa is caught bringing Christmas joy.

The table is set for a Christmas feast!

Nast drew a little boy crying outside a toy store window at sign.
